Thirty Seven Weeks

Well I had an ECV done Monday. There was no luck turning him. I am still very hopeful he will turn on his own. If he can, he will. If not, then maybe there is a reason for it. Maybe he knows something I don't.
I am still trying all the tricks from spinningbabies.com, and yesterday I visited a chiropractor that has had great results turning babies with the Webster's Technique> If he doesn't turn at least my hips feel better.
We are  still  attending our last HypnoBirthing class, and have practicing away! Either way it is so close & we are so excited & so ready to meet him. They have scheduled me for a c-section on August 29th (only 2 weeks away) It's so crazy! I can't believe how soon we get to meet our little man.

Oh goodness I can't wait to meet this little man!! It is really starting to fly by & I need to get my butt in gear. I really need to start working on turning my amazing Geeked out office into his room (i'm a tiny bit sad). I need to do a lot of cleaning re-organizing & the one thing I want most is a new (HIGH QUALITY) vacuum before he gets here. I have one in mind and I really hope we can sell the van soon so I can get it. Yes we are selling the band van. Lots of good memories in that thing. I am really really going to miss going to the bands shows. Mike & I are both a bit depressed that they are no longer. :(

If any of you mommas have any must have baby gear you would like to share your info with me about that would be great & I can add it to my registry. If there is something you think is pointless or just sucks I would like to hear about that too! Either on here or FB. Thanks :) Have a great day.

16 WEEKS (yay four months)

At first it seemed like my pregnancy was going by soo slow. Maybe it was the morning sickness.

Now I feel fabulous & my belly is growing. It seems as though it is going by very very fast now. I can't wait to know if it's a gal or guy so I can better plan & prepare. I need to make myself start buying a case of diapers each time we get paid. Anyways we are having a gender reveal party for our very excited families April 20th & I am very much looking forward to that. My baby has little ears now, and Mr. Nielson is constantly wanting to talk to and kiss on my belly. It's cute but a little silly, as mean as it is I have to tell him to leave me alone sometimes. I've never been a fan of him or anyone else for that matter touching my stomach (belly now). It'll be something i'm going to have to get use to.

How far along?  16 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss:  I haven't checked lately
Maternity clothes? Not yet, but things are getting snug
Stretch marks?  Nope & let's hope it stays that way
Sleep:  Between the shoulders & potty breaks, not very good at all.
Best moment this week:  Getting my gender party invites
Miss Anything? My mass amount's of coffee & sushi

Food cravings:  Not really
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nope, feeling way better!
Have you started to show yet:  Yes
